1 Future Internet Experiments over National Research & Education Networks: The Use Cases of FEDERICA & NOVI over European NRENs - GÉANT Vasilis Maglaris Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering, NTUA Chairman, NREN Policy Committee - GÉANT Consortium maglaris@netmode.ntua.gr APAN 30 th Meeting 11 th August 2010 Hanoi, Vietnam

2 The GÉANT Service Area GÉANT COST: 40 M /year Not just the GÉANT backbone Federated services via 36 NRENs and Campuses to 40 M+ users 2

3 GÉANT global connectivity AfricaConnect GÉANT2 global connectivity February 2009

4 The Key Challenge for NRENs - GÉANT: A Tsunami of Global High-End Requirements 10 Gig+ NREN GÉANT Footprint, June 2009 High-End Users (HPC, CERN, ITER, ) require stable production services: Provisioning Gbps networks (DWDM over dark fiber, leased λ) Meeting robustness, reliability, security requirements Enabling multi-domain e2e monitoring & on-demand hybrid resource allocation Managing converging e-infrastructures as a High Performance Computing & Networking (HPCN) Cloud Future Internet (FI) Services & Applications 4

5 LHC Tier0 Tier1 Optical Private Network 5

6 ITER Proposed Connectivity Shorter alternative:orient/tein3 6

7 Future Internet Experimental Research: An Opportunity for NRENs Requirements: Sharing optical backbones & housing for FI experiments Emulating real-world conditions In isolation from production traffic (slicing, virtualization) Interconnection of local testbeds (e.g. OpenFlow, wireless labs) NRENs as infrastructure providers & innovation brokers: In Europe: FI Private-Pubic Partnership (PPP) & FIRE provisioning of NREN GÉANT facilities (e.g. FEDERICA) In the US: GENI experimental platforms provisioning of Internet2, NLR, ESnet, RON facilities (e.g. VINI) In APAN: NICT (JP), CERNET (CN), KOREN (KR), AARNet (AU), 7

9 Potential role of GÉANT NRENs in FI Experimental Research Contribute to FI Core facilities (FIRE, FI PPP) with 1-10 Gbps connectivity at all layers (including Bandwidth on Demand) & virtual infrastructures (including systems) Support virtual resource allocation, scheduling, federated admission control - roaming AAI & mechanisms for protected operation of isolated communities leading to the concept of Infrastructure as a Service Develop deploy tools to create, monitor and control virtual resources allocated to FI user communities, towards the Network on Demand vision Research on common, context aware descriptions of heterogeneous virtual networking elements, enabling resource discovery & provisioning of composite services Provide NOC functionality for virtual communities based on scalable management of virtual resources by stake-holders in the federation, also leveraging collaborations with external platforms (Internet, GENI, FIRE ) 9

10 A Research Infrastructure Project: FEDERICA Federated E-infrastructure Dedicated to European Researchers Innovating in Computing network Architectures EC FP7 Capacities (DG INFSO-F, e-infrastructures/géant Unit) 20 Partners (NRENs, DANTE, TERENA, Academic & Research Institutions, Industry) 30 Months (ends October 2010) Provide FI researchers with virtualized experimental facilities as user slices (Infrastructure as a Service) Enable emulations in a controlled environment reproducibility 10
